Development of Virtual Laboratory Based on Interactive Multimedia on Planting and Painting Bacteria

Abstract

The Aim of this research is to produce Virtual Laboratory based on interactive multimedia on sub material of planting and painting bacteria. Knowing eligibility of the media and knowing the student's respond that has been taught of using Virtual Laboratory. The method of this research is development research. This research consists of two stages are preliminary (preparation and design) and formative evaluation (self evaluation, expert reviews, small group and fields test). Data collection techniques used in this research are questionnaires and tests. The subject of this research is 37 students. Based on validation result from validator expert, Virtual Laboratory is categorized valid. This value is obtained because Virtual Laboratory can be installed in various hardware and software, easy to use, the program works well, and Virtual lab has a unique shape, interactive and good animation. Meanwhile, students give the positive respond, it means student can operate and simulate the experiment of planting and painting bacteria with Virtual Laboratory and helps students to understand the material of planting and painting bacteria easily. So it can be concluded that Virtual Laboratory has legibility to be used as learning media.
